Cartier Tank à Guichets

Each year, this singular collection from Cartier— beloved by watch enthusiasts—reveals a new interpretation of one of the Maison’s iconic timepieces, showcasing limited-edition creations.

This year, it’s the turn of the Tank à Guichets, a watch that first appeared at Cartier in 1928, which combines technique and design to offer a digital time display.

Magic flows through Cartier’s creative spirit. Like a guiding thread, it combines with audacity to enhance the watchmaking designs of the Maison. This dynamic is felt in the new Tank à Guichets, which is equipped with a specially developed calibre, the 9755 MC hand-wound movement with jumping hours and dragging minutes. It has the same appearance as the watch from 1928, with the hour aperture at 12 o’clock and the minute aperture at 6 o’clock, as on the original, and the winding crown positioned at 12 o’clock. The satin-finish case contrasts with the polished horizontal brancards, enhancing the watch’s silhouette. The central face is in brushed gold or platinum.

‘‘Through transformation and enhancement, at Cartier, time is the subject of multiple creative metamorphoses. These include metamorphoses of material, which the Maison’s watchmakers and jewellers have brought to life through a fascinating face-to-face encounter between an emerging panther and a precious watch. But there are also those of the Maison’s great watchmaking classics, whose inventiveness is perpetuated by Cartier. I’m thinking of the Panthère watch, which has undergone a spectacular jewellery transformation, and of course the Tank à Guichets watch dating back to 1928, for which we have specially developed the 9755 MC movement. Embodying design, technique, expertise and craftmanship, the watches in the 2025 edition of Watches & Wonders are the work of true alchemists.’’
